James Harden talks about new owner Tilman Fertitta

Tilman Fertitta paid $2.2 billion to own the Rockets, so it’s only right that he enjoys it. By all accounts, Fertitta definitely is ready for the challenge of being an owner and is more than thrilled about his opportunity.

“He sounds excited,” James Harden told the Houston Chronicle’s Jonathan Feigen. “He sounds motivated. It’s something he dreamed of his entire life, his entire family. The opportunity became available. He took advantage of it. He’s determined. He wants to get this organization to the top. Everything makes sense.”

Fertitta was sure to let everyone know in his introductory press conference that he’s willing to do whatever it takes to turn the Rockets into a championship winner. When asked if that pertains to salary cap and luxury task, he replied that he just wants to win and will do whatever is necessary and work with the other members of the Rockets’ organization.

“They’re all excited,” Harden said. “We’re excited about the partnership. It’s an opportunity of a lifetime.”
